"Ship order complete"

A

Guest
Sorry for the off-topic question but I thought you'd be familiar
with the term... This reseller has a tick box on their order
form saying :

| Ship Order Complete
|
| Your ordered items may be shipping from multiple locations.
| Check this box if you would like all items to ship from their
| stocking location complete. We will not consolidate orders to
| only one location for shipment.
|
| [] Ship my order complete from each location.

Does that mean that, if the box is checked, each warehouse will
wait until they have everything and then make ONE shipment to
me ?

Thanks for the PF answers everyone !

Looks like they want to be sure people don't interpret it that way. That's
what they say they won't do. But so long as multiple parts of one order are
found in one location, you'll get one package only from that location, and
one from each other location filling your order, if you tick that box. I
guess if you don't, they send each part in its own package. (Part meaning
component type, either singly or in quantity). Best ask them though, if you
find any other interpretation that makes sense. It might be more ambiguous
than it looks to me, and you already saw it differently than I do.

That's what it looks like to me. It only matters if
something is backordered. In that case, you get a choice
of send me what you have now and send the rest later as
it comes in vs wait until everything is in and then send it.

It means a maximum of one shipment per warehouse. If the parts are
stocked at different warehouses, you will get multiple shipments even
if you check the box.

Actually, we understood it the same way. I meant one shipment
*per warehouse*. As opposed to the most unfavourable case,
several shipments per warehouse. Thanks !

Well they (vermason.co.uk) quoted me 40 GBP for shipping 100 GBP
worth of not particularly heavy merchandise across the Chanel.
Ouch ! At that price, I'm wondering if it's not actually more
expensive to buy direct from them than through RS...

I run an electronics cart, and we would be very happy to get feed back
on any ambiguity that affects sales. Try sending them an email, and ask
them. Also suggest they may like to clarify the point on their web site.

Reading the replies in this thread, it simply means adding a simple
sentence to clear this up.

But then some companies don't/won't change easily.

Cheers Don...

Made a quick comparison and it looks like it's still cheaper,
but not by a huge margin. And that's with the pound at
near-parity with the euro.

Parcelfarce would have cost even more (46.50 GBP for one 5-kg
parcel). Either I've spent too much time under a rock, or
shipping costs have gone up *again*.

Merry Christmas, all.
